The Dance
ACT 3: The Dance
Not just any dance, your dance and it should reflect you and the musical tastes of your friends and family. You can start with the traditional dances or kick things off with something fun and have your dance earlier in the program or later in the evening. The dance is your place to really let your creativity flow.
- Formal Dances Introductions, cues, invitation and music planning.
- Special dedications, dance invitations.
Your Emcee is welcome to enjoy himself and feel pleased with a job well done as TJ the DJ takes over the reins to announce your special dances, dedications and invite your guests to the dance floor. Your special songs will be announced and dedicated tastefully along with other great ideas you might enjoy to help honor special guests.
- Pre-request, play & do not play lists consultation meeting.
It’s your party and as your employee TJ the DJ will only play those songs on your approved list and will not play songs you have requested not be played. Your guests are welcome to make requests and only those that are fitting, tasteful and do not contain subject matter not appropriate for the evening or for younger/older guests. Meeting with you a several weeks to a month before your event TJ the DJ will have a ready made list of music you and the time to track down any songs that might not already be on hand.
- Bouquet/Garter Toss, music cues/editing.
- Dance games, spot dances etc clients choice
Many people look forward to this traditional event. There is no right way to present the tosses, but there are many ways it can go wrong. There are many considerations to take into account to make this particular event fun to watch and interactive. The more creative you choose to be using your own unique talents and ideas. Make this one of the memorable and fun moments of your dance with TJ the DJ.
- Mid night lunch clients choice, entertainment.
Your midnight lunch does not need to stop the party, but you can take this time to remind people of safe ride programs or where your gift opening will be and when. You might even want to use this time for some fun dances or special songs. Often this is the point when many of your guests will decide to call it a night and taking the time to thank them for attending is a great way to leave them feeling appreciated and positive, remembering how much fun they had and how unique your reception was.
- Last Dance song, mix, cues, and introductions.
- Grand Send Off, choreographed send off of Bride and Groom involving guests. Music planning, cues, editing. May also involve props at extra cost.
Your last song and Grand Send off is your closing act. It is always best to end your party at the high note, before it starts to dwindle, leaving your guests raving about how much fun it was and how it could have gone all night, rather than how drunk they got and how hungover and tired they are the next day.
Bobby Womack said “Leave them wanting more and you know they’ll call you back.” You want people to remember your reception as the best ever, something they will talk about for years to come.
Create a grand send off where your guests will rally around and cheer you on as your start your new life’s journey.
- Meetings as required to work on details, confirm cues, songs plan agenda and any other needs.
